Solution to Automate Mandated Foreclosure Mediation Process in Florida

- eMASON announced today that its Clarifire® application has been implemented by Fannie Mae as the technology solution for its servicers‘ use in complying with the foreclosure pre-filing mediation process mandated by the Florida Supreme Court‘s administrative order. The advanced web-based application provides secure, automated workflow for its loan servicers and business partners involved in the mediation process - including retained attorney firms, mediation case managers, and counselors - all on one consolidated platform.

Clearwater, Florida - December 27, 2010

Clarifire automation will help servicers improve the prospect and cycle times associated with assisting borrowers by offering mediation and related workout options early in the loan‘s delinquency as required by the state. The Florida Supreme Court mandates that servicers offer mediation to homestead residential borrowers before a summary judgment can be filed and a foreclosure sale held.

-We are extremely proud to provide our advanced technology to this important Florida Mediation initiative to assist borrowers in need,‖ said Jane Mason, president and CEO of eMASON, Inc. -Clarifire automation delivers an innovative and standardized approach to managing workflow, centralizes communication and documents, and allows all parties in the Mediation process the ability to work together on one platform for complete auditability, gain in efficiencies, and reduction in costs.‖

The technology will also expedite the process for Fannie Mae loans where mediation is either not accepted by the borrower or does not result in an agreement or a workout as outlined by the initiative. Florida is the first state to receive the benefit of Clarifire automation for processes related to pre-filing mediation.

Currently, more than 25,000 users rely on the Clarifire application to automate their workflow. eMASON‘s Clarifire application bridges gaps between built technologies and provides many advantages to the Florida Pre-filing Mediation process, including:

Automated Workflow: Clarifire automates workflow between all parties seamlessly, and presents tasks in priority order, streamlining the each step of the process from the referral of mediation to recording the workout and post-mediation session results to the case in the application.

Increased Visibility: The application provides all parties secure and increased visibility and auditability of the status and progress of loans in mediation, and increases servicers‘ ability to meet compliance requirements of the mandated program.

Work Presented on Role-based Dashboards: All work is managed on role-based dashboards to manage tasks, monitor deadlines, manage and respond to overdue deadlines and exceptions, and gain visibility into their loan pipeline - all in real-time.

Streamlined Communication: The application centralizes and improves communication between all participants (reducing/eliminating the need for external faxes, emails and phone calls).

Documents Centralized and Automatically Routed: Clarifire provides automated generation, transmission, access, and storage of documents at the case level.

Automated Notifications: All parties are alerted of key milestones via automated notifications, such as when case documents are available for review within the application, as well as scheduling and tracking of mediation and counseling sessions.

Enhanced Tracking and Reporting: The technology automates tracking and reporting capabilities, captures key compliance metrics, and allows generation of customized reports.

eMASON is one of the nation‘s fastest-growing private companies as ranked in the ‗Inc. 500.‘

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REALTOR RADIO SUPERHERO VOWS TO HELP 1 MILLION HOMEOWNERS
______________________________________________________________________

Big 810 AM · Central Florida Real Estate Show · Saturdays 4-5 p.m. · Starting Aug. 28

(Kissimmee, FL) - Imagine for a moment a man is flying through your neighborhood wearing a bright red cape and gold leotard, just as you are outside looking up wondering if there is any way to save your home from foreclosure. Kissimmee Realtor Paul Antonelli is claiming to be a superhero that will help homeowners get out of trouble. On Saturday, Aug. 28, Antonelli will begin hosting the Central Florida Real Estate Talk Radio Show on the Big 810 AM radio station with a vow to help one million homeowners.

The Central Florida Real Estate Show will broadcast on Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Orlando area on 810 AM Radio and will be live online at www.big810am.com.

Antonelli can claim to be any superhero, but he knows the proof will be in the help he gives to listeners. Antonelli is promising to be an advocate and information champion for one million homeowners in Osceola and Orange Counties. Although on average homes in the Orlando market are selling within 85 days of being listed, which is better than the national average, homeowners still need to know how to list their home and ensure specifically that a short sale will be successful. Short sales depend on the lender signing off on the sales price, and if the short sale does not follow specific criteria the bank can refuse the offer.

"So many people have told me other real estate representatives have told them it is impossible to short sale a home or that foreclosure will happen before they successfully short sale the home, but the truth is if a realtor knows how to get a short sale price approved and hire the experts necessary it can save a family's livelihood," Antonelli said.

As a realtor with Coldwell Banker Ackley Realty, Antonelli has watched hundreds of people ask for help to avoid foreclosure and most of them have been given bad information about what they can do. To make sure homeowners are armed with accurate and trustable information, the Central Florida Real Estate Show will boast two additional Orlando-based experts including Colleen Mitchell, a Wells Fargo Mortgage Broker, and Charles Castellon, a real estate and foreclosure attorney.

Antonelli said, "It is my goal to make sure homeowners know what road to take before they make any decisions, because the wrong decision could cost you. For example, if a home goes into foreclosure and the bank sells it for less than is owed, most people are completely unaware that the bank can still come after them to pay off the rest of the money even if it is already foreclosed."

Orlando's real estate market is strong, but home values are still falling. The average sales price of homes from June to July of this year fell nearly 4.5 percent. In July 2010, there were 2,387 sales with only 740 of those sales being traditional or by the owner. During that same month, 69 percent of all real estate sales were for Bank-owned and short sale listed properties in the Orlando market.

The Big 810 AM Radio Station prides itself on being one of few stations in the country that promotes local experts to become radio talk show hosts and advocates for the community just like Antonelli. The Central Florida Real Estate Radio Show is happy to be part of the Big 810 AM Radio family and looks forward to helping Floridians by arming consumers with sound solutions for their homeowner challenges.

For information, please contact Realtor Paul Antonelli by calling (321) 443-4028. He is available every day from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is available for media interviews.
